We have a new identity in Christ which makes living life purposefully possible.

Reaching people for Jesus begins with prayer.

Everyone has a role to play in causing our relationships to be filled with loving unity.

Let us not lose our continuing commitment to the things of Christ.

Who He is. What He has done. What He continues to do.

Paul gives us an illustration in how we can pray for our fellow believers.

Let's look at some practical patterns of a normal christian life.

God is pursuing you. God knows your past and loves you right where you are today.

What we do here is not a solo performance - it's a team effort.

How to be an effective witness for Christ. Written by Rick Wenneborg.

Living for Christ in the workplace

Christ should affect the basic relationships in the home.

What distinguishes a Christian from a Non-Christian?

Putting on the new self.

Jesus changes us from the inside out.

No man-made or self-made religion can do what Christ can.

We have freedom in Christ.

The old flesh and its effects are gone.

We are a local church in southwest Oklahoma City committed to loving God, loving our neighbors, and making disciples of Jesus Christ.

Strategic prayer, proclamation and partnerships are essential for the growth of any church.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ changes us and how we relate to one another. The gracious manner in which Christ has dealt with us leads us to relate to others with that same grace and love. As Christ followers who consider Jesus to be "all, and in all" we are to have Christ-centered relationships. Christ-centered relationships are marked by grace, love, peace and gratitude. They are influenced by the word of Christ and they aim to bring glory to the name of Christ.

Since we have a new identity in Christ we must have a new mentality & morality. We are to live in accordance with who Christ has made us & what he has taught us. This involves us making war on sin & actively seeking to be like Christ in our character & conduct.

The Apostle Paul's ministry was a stewardship given to him by God for the sake of others. And it involved suffering and struggles in which he had to endure to fulfill his mission of making the word of God known to the Gentiles. Followers of Christ can expect suffering and struggles as well. And they too should see themselves as stewards of the gospel message and seek to be faithful messengers.

Christ is the supreme Creator and Sustainer of all things. He is the Savior and Redeemer of all who believe in Him. Thus, He is worthy of our worship, trust and our highest allegiance.

Our proper response to God's sovereign work of grace in our lives is to seek to please Him in every way.

In the church today we cannot do ministry alone. We need faithful partners. The apostle Paul, himself, was not a "lone wolf" in ministry. Paul gives us insight into what faithful partnership in ministry looks like. As he ends the book of Colossians, he commends a number of people that have worked and traveled with him over the years. Paul did not minister alone. His faithful friends encouraged him, comforted him, and struggled in ministry with him.

We are instructed to be steadfast in our prayers and especially to pray for doors to be opened to share the gospel.

The Word of God gives us instructions for how to walk in Jesus Christ in our relationships. How do husbands and wives related? Parents and children? Employees and bosses? All of these relationships are transformed when we are in Jesus Christ and when we live accordingly.

In this passage, the Word of God instructs us to put on godly attributes that are evidences of the new life we have in Jesus Christ. Because we are the new self in Jesus Christ we are to put on attributes of compassionate hearts, humility, meekness, love, and forgive one another.

Paul warns us not to let others judge us by their human traditions and legalistic rules. We also need to be careful that we do not get pulled away from Jesus Christ by mysticism, asceticism, visions, and other man-made religions that have no power to destroy the sinful flesh.

Paul struggles for the church and desires to see it grow in the Lord. He had never met the people in Colossae yet he has a heart from them. We too need a heart that longs for others to grow in the Lord. We should desire to see people so grounded in Christ that are not persuaded to leave the Lord.

Jesus wants us to stand firm in the faith and not walk away. The hope of heaven awaits us if we continue in the faith (Col. 1:23). While we are assured that Christ does not lose those who belong to Him, He also warns us to not fall away.

Jesus Christ is truly God therefore we should worship Him. But He also became man to rule within his creation so that He might save us and become supreme King within His creation.

The Bible want us to be praying for one another as believers. We are to pray that fellow believers grow in their spiritual understanding and knowledge of God. We are to pray that fellow believers excel in good works and grow in thanksgiving to God.

Paul was thankful for the church in Colossae even though he had never met them. What does your prayer life look like? Are you thankful for other Christians? Do you give thanks to God when people grow in faith, hope, and love?
